Re: Squirrelmail with Cyrus
Good morning. I think it would depend on what your cyrus/sendmail is using (pam, etc.) Then, in the squirrelmail config (./config.pl) you configure the imap server address and there is a setting asking for login (authentication) type; e.g., login, plain, cram,etc. -- -- -- Rafael Mahecha E-mail Administrator Office of Information Management Jackson State University JSU e-Center 1230 Raymond Road Jackson, MS 39204 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (601)-979-1783 http://www.jsums.edu On Fri, December 7, 2007 6:05 am, BipinDas-Ditro wrote: DearList I am building a new server with Cyrus/Sendmail/Squirrelmail.

Re: pop3d 100% cpu
I have... the problem was actually with our sendmail it is supposed to have a message size limit... for the maximum size of message that sendmail will transfer for it turns out that during one of the updates, that option was not set... so by default it is unlimited, so when a user wanted to send a 170MB home video from her outlook, the server was sitting there trying to transfer it... The problem was fixed by removing the mailq and resetting the option in sendmail. I guess that for the pop, your server received a large message and one(or more) of the user(s) is trying to download that to their computer? I think cyrus has a max_size option ... or may be lmtp... which tells it to fail if it finds a message larger than that -- -- -- Rafael Mahecha E-mail Administrator Office of Information Management Jackson State University JSU e-Center 1230 Raymond Road Jackson, MS 39204 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (601)-979-1783 http://www.jsums.edu On Tue, November 20, 2007 3:51 pm, Faust wrote: About 5 to 10 minutes after starting cyrus_imapd the process pop3d will take 100% cpu usage and the system will freece.

inserting mails in a users mailbox
Dear list, I currently have 2 mail servers running cyrus 2.2... they are stand alone I was wondering if you could advised what is the best way to insert messages from an account in one server to an different account in the other server; e.g., I might have the same person logging in with different usernames to each of the servers. I tried the xfer command, but got a not allowed... error message I was thinking about just copying the messages from one to the other and then recontruct the mailbox the problem here, is what to do is the destination mailbox has emails named 1. 2. 4. etc. then they might be over-written. Any ideas?

However they seem to have fairly low activity levels with emails in the hundred-thousands range not millions. So far that's the only other place we've talked to. Everyone else seems to spread out 5K users on a large number of backends.

I think there is a problem with the /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver. The scipt is supposed to invoke the cyrus deliver command to deposit a message even when the user's quota is at or above 100%... the problem is that deliver works only if the quota is not 100%and no -q flag is set. any ideas? I don't see any errors in the logs and other than that, users get their email as usual... the script runs as root, but su - cyrus to run deliver please help..

Hi Joy, there is this Cyrus GUI called Gyrus. Though unfortunately (afaik) the development has ceased. The approach was nice, but never finished. I am using Gyrus here to create new accounts, but I can not delete accounts or i.e. manage them in groups, and sasl passwords still have to be set by using the superuser or root login in a shell. I too would like to know if there are alternatives. :-) Thanks for the info. I have just come to know about a PHP based web tool to do admin work. it is called web-cyradm. It is also possible to handle multiple domain :-) but it needs mysql and I don't know if I can use it to handle the existing accounts. Though tis tool is very advanced. One alternative I heard of is a web administration tool, but that again is reported to be complicated to set up and it needs a webserver.

how to backup a cyrus server?
I recently moved all my users from proprietary wemail (using local sendmail) to latest cyrus and sendmail using lmtp. I used to use tivoli to backup the old server (which was ok since no data bases were involved)... but since cyrus has databases and such, I am concern about file-locking and database corruption. What is the best way to back up the server? shutdown cyrus for a while, then snap shot it, and then back up to tivoli or should I just be able to back up the running server directly to tivoli? what other software can I use to backup?
